A projectile that is thrown with an initial velocity,that has a horizontal component of 4 m/s, its horizontal speed after 3s will still be 4m/s.
If you ignore the effect of the air grabbing at it and only figure in gravity, then the horizontal component of velocity is constant, from the time the stone leaves your hand until the time it hits the ground. Makes no difference whether you toss it up, down, horizontal, or on a slant. Also makes no difference whether it's a cannonball, a stone, or a bullet.
If you can ignore air resistance, they're not. Neither component has any influence on the other one unless the object is acting as an airfoil.
If there's no influence from air resistance, then the path of a "projectile" is a parabola. That's what you get when one component of velocity is constant and its other (orthogonal) component is accelerated.
If a ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building, the vertical component of its initial velocity is zero.

If a ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building, the vertical component of its initial velocity is zero.
If it is thrown at an angle, at the top of its path, its vertical velocity will be zero, however its horizontal velocity will be the same as its initial horizontal velocity minus whatever loss in speed as a result of air friction at that point. We won't know what that is without more information.
when a body is thrown at an angle in a projectile motion, the vertical component of the velocity is vcos(B) ..where v is the velocity at which the body is thrown and B represents the angle at which it is thrown.Similarly horizontal component is vsin(B). these components are useful in determining the range of the projectile ,the maximum height reached,time of ascent,time of descent etc.,

If you're willing to ignore the effect of air resistance, then the answer is as follows: The object's horizontal velocity remains constant (at least until it eventually hits the ground). The vertical component of the object's initial velocity ... call it V(i) ... is the (total initial velocity) multipled by the (sine of the initial angle above the horizontal). Beginning at the time of the toss, the magnitude of the vertical component of velocity is V = V(i) - 1/2gT2. T = number of seconds after the toss g = acceleration of gravity = approx 32 ft/sec2 or 9.8 m/sec2
In the case of constant velocity (or speed), velocity = distance / time.
The vertical component of its velocity increases at the rate of 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second downward every second. Without involving numbers, simply the vertical component will first be upward at what ever velocity it is when split from the horizontal velocity, then (after reaching the peak of its height at which velocity is zero) it will be a downward vector that, yes, will increase with acceleration due to gravity (which is where the 9.8 meters per second squared came from)
It depends. If the projectile goes straight up and straight down, its velocity will be zero at the top. If the projectile is a baseball about halfway between the pitcher and the bat, its velocity might be 150 km/h.
